Research Atmosphere

To better manage water resources, hydrogeologists use high-resolution, space-based sensors to look into the earth's crust and map the locations and capacities of underground aquifers...

Control Systems

Structures. Transportation. Medicine. Manufacturing. In a wide range of industries, companies are increasingly in need of engineers who can take technology to the next level....who can transform ideas into hardware.....

Power Transforms

We live in a world increasingly reliant on electronic systems of ever-expanding capability. A world that, at the same time, must develop clean, sustainable ways to generate the electricity these innumerable devices require. It's a world that will be powered by engineering leaders shaped at SMU.

Embed Evolution

Computer technology is inextricably embedded in modern life. From supercomputers predicting the path of a storm system to servers running an online superstore, to a chip-controlled application brewing a fresh cup of coffee-these evolving devices and systems touch every aspect of how we live and work.

Signal Strength

The convergence of communication and computer technologies is providing powerful ways to connect consumers, corporations and cultures-anytime and anywhere. As the worldwide demand for spectrum, capacity, and access grows, so does the need for engineers specializing in telecommunication.

Sustain Resources

The developed world must find ways to sustain economic and technological progress without sacrificing ecological preservation. Our responses to these challenges depend on specialists who combine a knowledge of chemistry, biology, and other natural sciences with an engineering approach to solutions.

Great discoveries, from fundamental laws of nature to practical inventions, all have one thing in common: open minded thinking driven by a deep sense of curiosity. Research at Lyle School is driven by this basic premise. Faculty and students also work to solve real world problems by combining engineering and ingenuity with the fundamentals of physics and mathematics.

At the Lyle School we are changing the way people think about engineers. Through innovation and hands-on experiences we are attracting a diverse mix of talented students interested in making a difference in the world through engineering.
